INDEX THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY The information, advice and instruction contained in this book are published because the user of a motor car needs them. But if the user fails to heed the advice given, the loss is not wholly his but partly ours as well. The Cadillac car in the hands of an operator who will give it the reasonable consideration to which it is entitled, and which every car requires, will run as smoothly and as quietly as is possible for any motor car to run. No car will give more satisfaction nor will any car stand more abuse. But no car can be expected to stancf continual abuse without resenting it sooner or later. We want Cadillac cars to render unfailing service and satisfaction. They are built for that purpose but the user must do his part after the car comes into his possession. We furnish a car that is capable of rendering the best of service and we furnish the instructions which will guide the user toward obtaining that service. But if lie persists in ignoring these instructions and in substituting his own ideas there is no one but himself upon whom he can rightfully place the responsibility for any difficulties which may result. There is a wealth of information, advice and instruction contained in this book. There is much that the owner may never have to use, but it is here to be used in the event that it is needed. There is other information which a user cannot get along without, no matter how much he may think he knows, nor how much previous automobile experience he may have had.
